Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrences and removal of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in drinking water and water/sewage treatment plants: A review
TL;DR: The aim of this review is to provide a comprehensive summary of the removal and fate of PPCPs in different treatment facilities as well as the optimum methods for their elimination in STP and WTP systems.
Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in the biological and chemical treatment technologies for emerging contaminant removal from wastewater: A critical review.
TL;DR: Results showed that endocrine disruption chemicals (EDCs) were better removed by membrane bioreactor, activated sludge and aeration processes among different biological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Advanced oxidation process-mediated removal of pharmaceuticals from water: A review.
TL;DR: An overview of the findings from recent studies, which have applied AOPs to degrade pharmaceutical compounds, and a discussion that links various factors of TiO2-mediated photocatalytic treatment to its effectiveness in degrading pharmaceutical residues are included.
Journal ArticleDOI
An overview on the advanced oxidation processes applied for the treatment of water pollutants defined in the recently launched Directive 2013/39/EU.
TL;DR: This review summarizes the data published in the last decade regarding the application of advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) to treat priority compounds and certain other pollutants defined in this Directive, excluding the inorganic species.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of the influence of treatment strategies on antibiotic resistant bacteria and antibiotic resistance genes
TL;DR: This review begins with an introduction to the occurrence of ARB and ARG in different environmental systems such as natural environments and drinking water resources, and the mechanism of the effects of different disinfection processes in water and wastewater.

TL;DR: The U.S. Geological Survey used five newly developed analytical methods to measure concentrations of 95 organic wastewater contaminants (OWCs) in water samples from a network of 139 streams across 30 states during 1999 and 2000 as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: Present knowledge does not reveal if regular therapeutic use may be the source of a substance carried by sewage effluent into the aquatic system, even though clofibrate, a lipid lowering agent, has been identified in ground and tap water samples from Berlin.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of drugs in German sewage treatment plants and rivers
TL;DR: In this article, the occurrence of 32 drug residues belonging to different medicinal classes like antiphlogistics, lipid regulators, psychiatric drugs, antiepileptic drugs, betablockers and β 2 -sympathomimetics as well as five metabolites has been investigated in German municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) discharges, river and stream waters.
Journal ArticleDOI
Occurrence of antibiotics in the aquatic environment.
TL;DR: From the large number of ground water samples that were taken from agricultural areas in Germany, no contamination by antibiotics was detected except for two sites, which indicates that intake from veterinary applications to the aquatic environment is of minor importance.

TL;DR: Atenolol, atrazine, DEET, estrone, meprobamate, and trimethoprim can serve as indicator compounds representing potential contamination from other pharmaceuticals and EDCs and can gauge the efficacy of treatment processes.
